Chemistry Visit Days
Our applicant visit days are the perfect opportunity to get a feel for life and study at Loughborough University - and meet the staff and students who make Loughborough's Department of Chemistry what it is.
Itinerary
Venue: West Park Teaching Hub
Even if you've visited campus before (for an Open Day or campus tour, perhaps) the applicant visit day is more focused on the Department and the course for which you've applied. You will be able to get more detailed information about the course from the staff that teach it.
You will also get to meet and chat to current students, including some from your subject area - enabling you to find out what it's really like at Loughborough!
We have a range of activities planned for both applicants and their guests. Below is an indicative itinerary; exact timings may vary on the day. You will receive your schedule for the day on arrival.
